As some of you may know from previous posts...there was a short period a few weeks ago when I was struggling spiritually, physically and emotionally and this song touched me and ministered to me like no other could have at that time, it was exactly what I was feeling, what I needed to hear to shake it off so to speak and tread on, moving up to the higher calling which the Lord had before me!
He knows every thought, every hurt, every moment of anxiety, feeling of failure and he sweetly can minister to us and prayerfully walk us out of that dark place if we will only allow him to take it from us, if we can just find that quiet place where we can hear him speaking to us so clearly and lovingly!
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other...
CASTING CROWNS LYRICS
"East To West"
Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west
'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
You're holding on to me
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other
Have a very blessed weekend ladies, I love you all!
Ooooo, love this song. I actually had the opportunity to hear them sing it live last year. Awesome. Sorry to hear you've been down. I will be praying for you.
Wow, I love your new look! I stopped by to check out how you were doing and can see that the Lord continues to be oh, so faithful. What an encouragement. I loved the photos of your monkeys :)
I have felt the same way these last few months but the Lord has met me and not left me. I've been turning around and living in Him again. He's always their wanting for us to call apon Him. I was getting so overwelmed and cought up in the everyday mantaince of running a household of 7. But God has reminded me of the bigger picture and the importance of my job. Your blog is a blessing and I feel as if I'm not alone and that I have another sister.Have a blessed week.
